my thoughts now.
you see, i live in malabon, the 24/7 floating city. we are used to chest-high floods in this place and during the typhoon, the electricity went off so we didn’t have real news aside from people’s texts and calls. my family was even calm during the entire thing because we thought that it’s just another storm and everything will go back to normal but after seeing the damage, we’re deeply heartbroken for those families who are left homeless. i really wanted to help but they wouldn’t let me since most of the streets are still unnavigable.
i wanted to help my friends in marikina and pasig that are directly affected by the storm but i guess i have to understand that my parents are just concerned about my safety because you know, i’m an only child and they can’t afford to lose me (or something like that)
all i can do for now is to pray for sunshine and give pledges to red cross even though i really really wanted to repack goods and distribute stuff for people or help them clean the mud off or just give them a hug. HAAAAAY.
